Lyrics

Sing, my soul, from bondage free;
Israel’s God thy God will be.
In the dark and foamy sea,
Pharaoh’s host shall buried be.

Refrain

Sing, my soul, from bondage free;
Israel’s God thy God will be.

Sweets of sin—delusive dream!
Burning thirst and poisonous stream.
Fount of Life, Thy streams outpour,
Let me drink and thirst no more.

Refrain

Fainting on the desert way,
For my daily bread I pray;
Bread of Life, Thy life I need,
Let me ever on Thee feed.
